Fractures ( 58 Questions)

Which type of fracture occurs due to twisting or rotational forces on the bone?



Correct Answer: C

A spiral fracture occurs due to twisting or rotational forces on the bone, resulting in a twisting break along the bone's length.

  
a. Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, usually seen in children. It is not caused by twisting forces.
b. Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, not due to twisting.
d. Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone breaks into multiple pieces, which is not associated with twisting forces.
